♫ Verse 1:
Am
Throw down the anchor

Waters only getting deeper
Am
You swallow the anger
D                        C              Am
Pride is strong but your body’s getting weaker.

♫ Pre-Chorus 1:
   D                   C
At night you pray, you always say

You think the day will come

Then morning breaks, you’re still afraid

To do what must be done.

Am
How long?

How long?

How come you ain’t ready to go there yet

As much as I love you and I wanna help

Am  C            D

Is too gone? how long?

C                    Am
Shining on you right now
Am                            D
Hold your breath and jump out
C                Am
Don’t look back, don’t ask how.


♫ Pre-Chorus 2:
    D               C
You pray tonight to see a sign
D            Am
Up in the stars above

But now it’s time, they’re all aligned
D
Don’t pass the moment up.
